On This Walking Tour

Nestled between the stone patio at Vendetta’s and The Lodge at Vail, Cloud Park invites kids to explore oversized white clouds they can climb on, under, and around. They can also create their own melodies by playing the park’s interactive hanging chimes, filling the air with music.

At the base of Gondola One, Pirate Ship Park will spark your kids’ imaginations. They’ll be shouting “ahoy!” from the crow’s nest, walking the plank, swinging, climbing nets, and battling the green sea monster. The best part? You can watch from the sunlit deck at Los Amigos while enjoying a margarita and chips.
